Election Day Rides

[Crankin]

Just got back from voting; we rode the Jamis' a big 8.4 miles round trip to the polls. It's 62 degrees out, eerily warm for Nov. 4th. There were no lines, but every booth was full. I was number 1428 to vote in my precinct.

75% of the voters in Concord have already cast their ballots and it's only 2:41!

On the way back, we took the back way, to ride by the Old North Bridge, to remind us where it all started. Now, on to celebrate my 55th birthday, with an election party with our cycling friends and my oldest son.

I got up at 4:45 AM this morning and went to the 5:30 AM spin class. It really boosted my metabolism and woke me up! I have so much energy. Plus I seem to be very hungry all the time! I'm glad my daughter made me go. We will be going again on Thursday morning.

I also dropped off my family's ballots here at work. My middle school library is a polling place. We have had a full/over flowing steady stream of people in my library all morning long! Lots and lots of people coming out to vote!

Happy birthday and yay for voting!

I rode to the polls and got in line at 6:40 this morning. It was colder than I thought and I forgot gloves, so my fingers felt like ice. Fortunately they warmed up before I had to try to fill in little scan-tron bubbles! Then I rode to work on such a dazzling beautiful morning, it made me sad to get off the bike.

As Crankin said, right now it's in the 60s -- 64 here in Shrewsbury -- and I'm planning on taking the hilly way from work to enjoy this unseasonable lovely weather.

We've been getting relatively heavy rain here in NC - so no riding for me. Already took care of all election related stuff, so no need to rush out. No lines here, though.

Happy Election Day, everyone!

Norwegians are following the American election very closely, this is all very exciting, I can't wait to hear the news tomorrow morning!

Rode to the local elementary school to vote and took a short ride after. It's quite warm here too but very gray.
No lines, I was in and out in ten minutes.

Now to prep food for tonight's party

It's only a few blocks to the school where we vote so we walked. We waited until 10:30 to let the rush of people voting before work clear out, but even so it was packed. Had lunch and then went on a nice ride in the beautiful sunshine. It was easy to spot the polling places, they were all surrounded by cars and senior center buses. I think this is the heaviest visible turnout I can remember.

I voted, got a cup of free tea from starbucks. Had my first Mammogram and got a rose for doing it. Then i gave myself a bike ride. it was a resistant bike ride cause it was very windy, but I felt so good afterward!

Well, I rode to work on America's election day - 25km in 55min or so
Mild and a tail ind
People were checking news sites and youtube at work all day to see how it was panning out
Glad I could listen to the radio on the way home

EnZed is voting this Saturday and many EnZeders haven't got a clue which party to vote for
Think I'll bike to the polling booth myself
